Christian Ported voted 24 times to block a Banking Royal Commission

Member for Pearce, Christian Porter, voted 24 times to block a royal commission into the banking and financial services. The Royal Commission has already uncovered evidence of widespread criminality by the big banks.

And now Mr Porter is supporting a push to give the big banks a $13.2 BILLION corporate tax cut AND laws that allow banks to get their hands on industry super.

DAVID SPEERS: Would you see any argument though that better to take ownership of the whole thing and announce something, rather than having it forced on you by the Parliament and indeed some of your backbenchers?

CHRISTIAN PORTER: Well, the position’s the position. And the position that we’ve had and maintained is that we’re not in favour of a banking royal commission. And the reasons for that have been noted previously but, as I noted today at the Press Club address, I don’t think that people, even those who have suffered at the hands of the bank, are going to get what they want out of a royal commission.
